Perthshire
Baronies
Historically
there were a number of regalties and baronies within Perthshire
(as elsewhere in Scotland), where Crown vassals held lands by
charter on which they held their own courts, as laid down by
the individual charter. These charters can be found in the Register
of the Great Seal. Although regalities were abolished under
the Heritable Jurisdictions Act (1747), baronies continued to
exist but eventually ceased to be used in practice.
